-----------THIS IS A REVIEW FROM OVERLORD, UBER PSP AND DS GEEK-----------
I JUST BOUGHT THIS GAME AND IT IS AWESOME. THERE ARE TONS OF COOL WEAPONS (THE BEST ONE IS THE LASER TRACER. THE RYNO IS PROBABLY BETTER BUT IT IS REALLY EXPENSIVE) THE STORY IS GOOD, AND THE GRAPHICS ARE AMAZING. THE ONLY FLAWS OF THIS GAME IS THAT IT IS A LITTLE SHORT AND THAT THE SOUND IS A LITTLE BUGGY. HOWEVER, AFTER YOU BEAT THE GAME ONCE, YOU CAN PLAY CHALLENGE MODE. IF YOU WANT TO COLLECT ALL OF THE TITANIUM BOLTS IN THE GAME AND BUY ALL OF THE FULLY UPGRADED WEAPONS THAN YOU CAN EXPECT TO PLAY THIS GAME FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. GAMING MAGAZINES ALWAYS GIVE THIS GAME A 9 OR 10 OUT OF 10. THIS GAME DOESN'T DESERVE SCORES LIKE THAT. RATCHET & CLANK: SIZE MATTERS DESERVES AT LEAST A 17.

I love Ratchet and Clank. My husband got it for me and it's the first video game ever that I got hooked on, couldn't put it down, and have played all of them. I liked Psychonauts because it reminded me so much of Ratchet and Clank. R&C is my gold standard.
Size Matters sadly is lacking. The graphics, game, story line...all that is great. I hate the camera. I hate that I can't see what's behind me without effort. The controls are difficult. Run, R, L, and X at the same time to long jump? If I had four hands, that just might be easy...but I don't! And I don't have big man hands; holding the PSP isn't comfortable to begin with, so trying to hold four buttons is hard. A previous reviewer said the game made him dizzy; I didn't notice that at all, but I did find that holding the PSP and manipulating all the buttons made my hands hurt after awhile.
I hope another PS version comes out; I much prefer playing it on the PS2. This game is like a snack when I want a meal! Give me R&C on PS2!
Edited to add that I've finished the game. After awhile I got used to using the shoulder buttons for the camera and it wasn't so bad, but it does get in the way sometimes, especially during fighting sequences. The weapons are cool, I love the beehive! There was a lot of unnecessary repetition, especially during big boss battles, like the one with the corn field (I don't want to spoil it so I'll wont say who it is with); the parts leading up to the boss fight didn't really need to be done every time I tried to kill the boss. I did find a glitch that made it easy to get lots of bolts so that helped in buying weapons. Overall it's a good game; a little short but definitely makes me want to play the next Ratchet and Clank even more!

I'm suprised that no one else has mentioned how short this game is. I beat this game in just a few days. Although I think the game is great, I expected it to be much longer. Even though the game is short you can go through it again and beat it in challange mode. Which isn't that challanging( the whole game isn't that challanging) but you do get to keep your weapons and upgrades from the last time you played through the game. This means you can upgrade your weapons to there full potential during the second time through. Also during the second time through you can get the very final stage of weapons by buying them, so it is definetly worth playing twice. Also this game has decent online play to make it even more worth having.

pro:
-somewat interesting story line
-new weapons
-customize free armor to use special ability
-permanet weapon upgrades (unlike deadlock which u can only hav a limited number of upgrade)
-fast loading time.
cons:
-poor multiplayer (wait alot for games 2 start, or maybe its becuz this game is new and not alot of people are playing multi yet, who knows?)
-fewer levels(9 i think)
-controlls both good and bad(its hard to get use to, but when u get it, its not a problem)
i have all 4(and now 5) ratchet and clank series. unlike Deadlock(which sucked), this game rocks! this game is like a mixed of best stuff from each game into one. i dont know if this happens to anyone else but i feel dizzy after playin 4 more than 20 mins (i play alot of other psp games but this never happens) its probably becuz of the size of the screen, too much going on such a small screen.

The Ratchet and Clank series achieved good success over its' four games on the PS2. So, it comes as no surprise that Sony brings it to the Playstion Portable. Just how does it stand up to the console editions?? Does it matter that it was developed by a different developer? Well, I'm going to answer those questions for you. First of all, it doesn't matter a bit that it was developed by a different developer. Which in this case was High Impact Games. If you were unaware that it was made by a different one, you wouldn't have figured it was made by anyone else other than Insomniac. Anything that Insomniac was able to achieve graphically and gameplaywise on the PS2, High Impact was able to achieve on the PSP. To me, that's pretty impressive. The designs of the levels, although abit smaller, are as excellent as they are on the PS2 and the story has so many twists and turns that you'll keep playing just to see how things end. Even the control, which relied so heavily on the second analog stick on the PS2, has been worked out to accompany the PSP without things feeling out of place. In my opinion, it holds up quite well to the console editions & is a worthy installment to the ongoing series. To sum it all up in one sentence, I'm amazed. Games like Size Matters is just what we need on the PSP.
Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters leaves me hopeful that Sony will bring its' other successful platformer, Sly Cooper(which is another one of my favorites), over to the PSP. Or, at the very least, continue this one on it.
